Hi,

Nothing to worry about. Any minor rust which accumulates will be rubbed off in the first couple of stops in the spring.

NEVER use any kind of lubricant around the Rotor or Pads, you'll contaminate the Pads if you do!

Do not apply the Handbrake or put the Car in Gear. Linkages and Handbrake Mechanisms can seize over a storage period and it's better they freeze unactivated if they do. This is because you'll have the Mechanical Advantage of the Handbrake Lever and Shifter to free them if they seize. Apply them, and you may have to disassmble the entire assembly to loosen it. If worried about the Car rolling, place a chock under one Wheel. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
